Mr. Guy is preceded in death by his parents Joseph Clyde Guy and Dorothy Dillard Guy, nee Jones and 3 siblings Joseph Calvin Guy (Eleanor), Dorothy Marie Irwin (William), and Walter Lawrence Guy (Glenda).
Mr. Guy was born August 5th 1949, in Leonardtown to Joseph Clyde Guy and Dorothy Dillard Guy, nee Jones. Kenny had many talents and could do anything he set his mind to. He enjoyed sharing his talents with others. Most people who knew Kenny had an immediate connection, what you saw is what you got. One of his passions was riding motorcycles and road trips with his brother Charlie and his brother in law Charles to places like Sturgis and across country. He was also proud of the fact that while working he was able to earn a degree from Bismarck State College in Electric Power Technology. Kenny was an avid storyteller and enjoyed speaking. One of his favorite childhood stories was pretending to be Davy Crockett in the corn fields with his coonskin hat and his gun where he chased imaginary rabbits, squirrels and bears. He recalled his brother Charlie being Jim Bowie, equipped with his bowie knife, and their many feats of bravery. He never tired of reminding his sister Louise of putting ants in her pants when she was young. Kenny served in the United States Army from September 4th 1968 - September 9th 1971. He served a tour in the Republic of Vietnam from March 8th 1969 – March 6th 1970 in An Loc Province. There he served primarily at Quan Loi, also known as LZ Andy. He recounted the most difficult part of his tour in Vietnam was the many that could never return home but he did. His greatest pride and joy in life was family especially his children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. Kenny will be waiting patiently for us to join him in the clouds.
Due to Covid-19 a service will be held at a later date.

SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS MAY HE RIP
Kenny was a wonderful person, always a pleasure to be around and a great person to work with. We crossed paths many times at Pepco and Mirant and he will always be remembered. May God find a special place for Kenny to assist him in Heaven.
Guy Family; I’m so sorry for the loss of Kenneth. He was truly one of a kind. I know how much he loved his family and how important each of you were to him. I hope you can take comfort in knowing he was welcomed into heaven by so many loved ones. I have known Kenneth my entire life and all the good times we shared will always be treasured. Watching Redskins games, hunting, fishing, our trip to Daytona, the football Hall of Fame in Ohio with Warren and the boys. Those were the best of days and countless memories I will always cherish. Over the years we didn’t see each other very much but we always stayed in touch. I’m sure you are catching up with Warren, Johnny and Buster. Thanks for being like a brother and a great friend to me. As we always said at the end of our texts, emails or phone conversations, love you my brother! RIP Hotchy
Love, Jerry
I will always remember my cousin, Kenny as a good person. My most heartfelt thoughts and prayers are sent to his family during this time of great loss.
Finally at peace with those who did not return from Nam. He will be amongst friends forevermore.
Oh Kenny, you are missed by your Vietnam brothers here in Naples at the Vet Center. Our group remembers your smile, your friendliness and your stories.
It was my pleasure to talk with you at our breakfasts. You kept in touch with me from Maryland via email, now you are at rest. We will carry on for you.
God Rest Your Soul!

To my dad. Merry Christmas. I already miss you so. You always gave me the best advise and I don’t know what I’m going to do without you. Words can’t say how I feel. Love you Dad.

I was saddened by Kenny’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with his Family.
Kenny first helped me in 1983 when he was a coal yard trainer.
I’m grateful he was always willing to help me over the years. Many times, years would go by and I wouldn’t see him, but when I did, it was like seeing an old friend.
I remember Kenny’s willing to help, knowledge in safety aspects, good attitude, and good story telling to illustrate the importance of safety. Kenny had such a good balance of reasonableness, firmness, thoroughness, and helpfulness.
I remember him going the extra mile, like when he was a coal yard trainer and having railroad tracks installed for training.
Here are some other comments people sent me.
So sad and depressing to hear about our friend Kenny Guy. I remember how straightforward, honest, and easy to get along with Kenny always was. A friend of so many over the years at all the stations. The best safety man in the system in my opinion.
So sad for his family at this time of the year also. Prayers to them.
Steve

May God Bless his Family.
I am saddened to hear of Kenny’s passing. I only saw Kenny occasionally, mostly during his time with Ulman & Associates, but when I did he was such a pleasure to be around. Easygoing during our safety training but extremely knowledgeable and effective. His experience and stories really drove home his points. I will miss him.
My deepest sympathies to his family.
The entire Guy Family: Our hearts go out to each of you with the passing of Kenneth. What a wonderful man. I was blessed to grow up with him just a couple of houses up the street. Kenneth will always be remembered with a smile on his face. Our deepest condolences and many prayers being sent. Many angels gathered to meet Kenneth and began their celebration with him! May he R.I.P.
Love and prayers,
Bonnie and Randy Oliver
Kenny, you will be missed old friend. You were a man of dedication and integrity. We had some great memories together at Pepco. My sincerest condolences to your family.
